Disliked: Cleanliness
I had to call house maintenance twice within the first hour of checking in, the shower did not have curtains and the shower faucet was spewing out water when I tried to take a bath. The shower curtain was fixed but the faucet did not. We had to get extra towels because water was spraying everywhere. There would of been a third call since the bathroom mirror decided to stop working but we were exhausted and just wanted to sleep. Then in the middle of the night, I went to the bathroom and turned on the light and right by the light switch was a daddy long leg spider. 2 am, barely awake.. a spider was not something you'd want to see. Besides that, the room, the AC, and bed was fine. You'd miss the hotel entrance if you blinked. The parking lot is not meant for big suvs to park side by side. It got is thru a few days of stay this time.

Comfortable stay

The hotel has a lovely lobby/great room area that's indoor and outdoor adjacent to the pool. Their coffee is fresh brewed all day, which was an excellent break at the start of the day or for the afternoon slump after touring San Diego. The room was nicely outfitted, good comfortable bed. I do wish hotels used down pillows less, they turn so flat. The bathroom was perfect, a standing shower with glass doors and brightly lit mirror for makeup application. Everyone from cleaning to desk staff was helpful and kind.
